Janice Dickinson, former I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! contestant, appeared on Good Morning Britain to promote the show’s new all-stars series alongside Shaun Ryder, who also returns for the programme.
During her appearance, Dickinson reignited her feud with Christopher Biggins, her former ITV co-star.
She claimed Biggins had been saying things about her in the press, to which Ryder jokingly replied that she was not vulgar.
Dickinson placed second in the 2007 series, with Biggins coming in first.
Dickinson praised the camaraderie of her castmates in the new all-stars series and expressed her enjoyment of meeting new people and experiencing life in the African bush.
However, she also warned that the trials were much harder this time around and that viewers would see action, tears, laughter, and rain.
In 2020, Biggins labelled Dickinson as “hideously horrible” and “vile,” recalling their time in the jungle together.
He claimed that Dickinson showed him her stitches after having an operation on her vagina, which he found unattractive.
Commentary:
Dickinson’s comments on Good Morning Britain may have reignited her feud with Biggins, but they also served to promote the upcoming all-stars series of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! Her praise of the camaraderie among her castmates and her warning of tougher trials could entice viewers to tune in to the new series.
The feud with Biggins may add some drama to the show, but it is ultimately a small part of what makes I’m A Celebrity a popular programme.
